Answer:

£480

Step-by-step explanation:

we can multiply both terms of ratio with same number without changing the ratio.

Example

a:b = ax: bx (here we have multiplied both terms with x)\

Given

Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 3:5

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

3x = 120 + 5x

3x-5x = 120

=> -2x = 120

=> x= -120/2 = -60

As we see profit is negative , hence it cannot be solution.

It can be solved if Stevie and Michael share their profit in a ratio 5:3

(note: in ratio , bigger number should have bigger term in ratio)

Let the profit for Stevie and Michael be 3x and 5x

Given Stevie gets £120 more than Michael

Profit for Steve = 120 + profit for Michael

5x = 120 + 3x

5x-xx = 120

=> 2x = 120

=> x= x120/2 = 60

Profit for stevei = 5x =5*60 = 300

Profit for Michael = 3x = 3*60 = 180

Total profit for them together = 300 + 180 = 480 Answer.

3|3t+1|=2|6t+3| Need hep
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

your answer would be  t=-1 or t=1

Step-by-step explanation:

-(2t-3) = 3t-2

Multiply

     -2t+3 = 3t-2

Rearrange and Add up

     -5t = -5

Divide both sides by 5

-t = -1

Multiply both sides by (-1)

t = 1

Which is the solution for the Negative Case

Solve the Positive Case

     (2t-3) = 3t-2

Rearrange and Add up

     -t = 1

Multiply both sides by (-1)

     t = -1

have a great day!
